Welcome to the forum.... They have 2 options, traditional and a Roth 401k. I lean toward Roth just because I would rather pay taxes now than later.
...
What say you? Thank you!!
Making the Traditional versus Roth decision can be a bit more nuanced than just listening to your gut about paying taxes now versus later.
If you're in a 24% or higher Federal tax bracket with your earnings, then there's an argument to be made for using Traditional tax-deferred contributions now. The general idea is that you'll be deferring income taxes now at 24% and then paying income taxes much later at what could be a lower rate once you're in retirement and don't have all that wage income.

I agree with the idea of paying down the credit card debt as soon as possible.
